Abstract		General practitioners or family physicians manage the majority of cases of respiratory tract infections. The present article describes current practices prevailing in the management of patients with lower respiratory tract infections among the general practitioners/family physicians in Slovenia and it discusses certain problems and suggests how they might be solved. Data on current practices were collected through two research projects: by a qualitative self- assessment project and a questionnaire completed by physicians-mentors for family medicine. The self-assessment project included 14 physicians who provided descriptions of 30 consecutive cases of respiratory tract infection. The questionnaire was completed by 52 physicians and was used to analyse the treatment methods in the management of patients with respiratory tract infections did not present any serious problems to the general practitioners family physicians however, considerable differences were observed between the diagnostics and therapeutic approaches used in the management of these patients.
Summary		Večino bolnikov z okužbami na dihalih obravnavajo zdravniki splošne oz. družinske medicine. V prispevku opisujeva prakso zdravnikov splošne medicine oz. družinske medicine v Sloveniji pri zdravljenju bolnikov z okužbami na spodnjih dihalih, opozarjava na nekatere težave in nakazujeva možne rešitve. Zdravnike sva spremljala z dvema raziskavama-s samoocenjevanjem kakovosti in prek anketiranja zdravnikov-mentorjev družinske medicine. Pri projektu samoocenjevanja kakovosti je sodelovalo l4 zdravnikov. Opisali so 30 zaporednih okužb na dihalih, ki so jih obravnavali. Z anketo pa sva analizirala ravnanje 52 zdravnikov pri obravnavi bolnika z okužbo na spodnjih dihalih. Pokazalo se je, da bolniki z okužbami na spodnjih dihalih za zdravnike splošne oz. družinske medicine ne predstavljajo posebnih težav, vendar so načini obravnave tako glede diagnostike kot glede zdravljenja zelo raziični.
